California, Feb 29:
Visitors to Yosemite National Park in California were treated to a rare phenomenon when the reflection of
the sun on the falling water created what’s known as a “firefall.”
Yosemite’s Horsetail Fall becomes a firefall only a few times each February when the reflection of the
setting sun makes the falling water look like flowing flames.
The phenomenon is rare to glimpse, as the waterfall is often shaded by clouds. Jay Huang captured
video during a recent visit to the park and posted his footage to YouTube.
“This was my first time to capture the complete firefall effects in the last 30 minutes of sunset without any
obstruction from clouds, even though I had photographed the firefall multiple times over the last dozen
years,” Huang wrote.
